Note: Every week from 1995, Guruji started sending out knowledge sheets which he fondly called the 'Knowledge Fax' to be read out and discussed at Satsangs happening all around the world. Guruji ended this delightful practice at the 365th week in September 2002, so as to let us fully digest them! These knowledge sheets have been compiled into An Intimate Note To The Sincere Seeker Volumes 1-7. I began the practice of posting a Knowledge Sheet every week for the benefit of those who have not had the opportunity to get hold of these priceless books. It had never cease to uplift me by reading and rereading this knowledge. So I know you would certainly enjoy them!
注：从 1995年开始， 古儒吉开始每一个星期寄出他称为‘智慧传真’的智慧语录以供在世界各地举行的唱场阅读与分享。大师在2002年9月，也就是第365周结束了这个做法，让 我们好好的消化和实践这些智慧。这些智慧语录已收录为7本书：古儒吉大师智慧语录（1-7集）。我开始每个星期刊登一篇智慧语录，以供还没有机会买到这几 本宝贵的书籍的学员分享。不断阅读这些智慧语录让我得益不浅。所以我知道其他人也会有很大的收获。
31/08/1995 Here and Now 此时此刻
The love of the ignorant can be harmful, yet even the anger of the Enlightened is not harmful. It can only be good!
We have a school at the ashram in Bangalore. There are 250 children enrolled, but only 200 come to class on any given day. Fifty children don't show up! Why? Because they cry at home,"Mother, I don't want to go to school."
The mother says,"Oh, la la, don't cry...okay." She thinks No child in the world is like my child. She gives in to the child and defends him. She does not see the teacher's point of view.
So, what happens? The child grows up spoiled. The child will never learn the alphabet, never learn to read or write. And the mother says,"Oh never mind, there are sheep to look after and fields to tend." Her love in ignorance has spoiled the child.
On the other hand,
The anger of the Enlightened is a blessing.
The Puranas give many instances of this. Once a Master was traveling with a disciple in the middle province of India. Some boys who were rude, rough, and abusive began to throw stones and tease the disciple, calling him names. This went on for some time as the boys followed the Master and the disciple.
They came to a river. The Master and the disciple got into a boat and started to cross. The boys got into another boat which began to sink in the middle of the river.
The Master slapped the disciple across the face. The disciple was so surprised, as he had not said a single word in response to the boys' taunts! He had been such a good disciple and yet the Master had slapped him.
The Master said,"It is your fault. You are responsible for their boat sinking. You did not respond to their abuse. Nature has now punished them in a worse way because you did not have enough compassion to quell their insults."
That slap from the Master took away the karma of this event so that it would not be carried into the future of the boys. It also served to take away any little bit of joy the disciple may have felt as he was seeing the boys' boat sink! Thus, it also took away the karma of the event for the disciple.
Even the anger of the Enlightened is a blessing!
无知者的爱可能是有害的；但启明者即使是他的愤怒亦是无害的，那只可能是好的！
在班格罗静心所，我们有一所学校。入学的学童总共有250个小朋友，但不论任何一天来上课的都只有200位。有50个小朋友没有出席！为什么？因为他们在家哭叫着：「妈咪！我不要上学。」
妈妈就说：「啊！亲爱的，不要哭……好。」她觉得世界上没有孩子是像我的孩子一样的。因此，她就向孩子屈服，开始为孩子辩护。她无法了解到老师的观点。
所以，然后呢？小孩被宠坏了长大。这小孩永远无法学会看书写字。然后妈妈说，「喔！没关系，可以看羊，可以种田。」母亲无知的爱宠坏了小孩。
启明的愤怒是种恩赐。
在<普拉那斯(Puranas)>中有许多这样的例子。一次，一个师父与一个门徒在印度中部的一省旅行。一些无礼、粗鲁、狂虐的男孩开始向门徒丢石头，骂他、戏弄他。这情形持续了一阵子，因为这群男孩就跟随这对师徒。
他们到了一条河的地方，师父与门徒上船渡河。男孩们也上了另一条船，但到了河心，那条船就开始下沉。
师父打了门徒耳光。门徒非常惊讶，因为他对男孩子们的辱骂，连半个字都没回啊！他一直是这样的一个好门徒，但师父却打了他耳光！
师父说，「是你的错，他们的船沉了你要负责。你没回应他们的辱骂。现在大自然以更糟的方式惩罚他们，因为你不够慈悲没有平息他们的侮辱。」
师父赏的耳光带走了这事件的业力，使这业力不会进入男孩们的未来。同时也消除了门徒见到男孩们沉船时，可能感到任何丝微的喜悦所带来的业力！因此，也将这事件带给门徒的业力消除掉。
甚至启明者的愤怒也是种恩赐！
